Help in repairing a corrupt .fit file

Hi everyone,

I went to a run this morning (with Garmin forerunner 745) and I could not sync the activity to my Garmin Connect because the file is corrupt :(

I tried to repair it using some online tools and failed. Unfortunately, I have a mac and I'm not very familiar with the .fit format, so I am unable to use some of the repair tools.

Can anybody try to repair the attached file?

Many thanks!!

Some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files:

After verifying that everything has synced, remove the files in the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder on the device’s file system using these directions: Removing Recorded Activities on a Garmin Fitness Device
Avoid excessive button presses such as pausing during your activity. If you need to pause frequently during your run, consider turning on auto pause
Regularly check for firmware updates using Garmin Express
If issues with corrupt files persist, contact Garmin Support
